Evie Avoids a Shot

Today we took Evie to the pediatrician's office for her RSV shot, but it turned out she had a low fever (100 F) so she couldn't get it. I know she was relieved! She hated just getting undressed in the exam room. The nurses and doctors there all wanted to see her (and her scar) and fuss over her, as they had not seen her since before her surgery.

Evie really gave Francis a run for his money last night. When he gave her the 10pm meds, she barfed 6 times in half an hour. He had to change her outfit and sheets and he did not get much sleep. I explained this to the doctor today, and she thought Evie was coming down with a cold. She has snots and is coughing up a ton of mucus. She was better for me today though - she even took a 2hour and 15 minute nap!

Giggling at Gavin:


Totally calm on Uncle David's lap:

More giggles - Uncle David taught the twins the word "blarney" and they thought it was pretty funny:


I put Evie in a green dress for her doctor's appointment. When we got home, she drank 1.5 ounces of formula from Grandma, which is the most she has taken by mouth for awhile. I put the rest of her feeding through her tube and she only had a couple tiny spit ups.

I'm so happy that she is doing better at home (despite the cold!).. she looks like she is feeling a lot better! Gavin has been looking so much older lately in some of these outfits you have been putting him in. He just looks huge!

I pray that Evie keeps getting healthier each day!

Its nice to see Evie smiling!

Gavin is a cutie too.

Hope her cold is shortlived and doesn't give her any trouble. We're all doing that here.

Continual prayers and good wishes.
